Hasn't anyone been watching playoffs? This has been going on for awhile. Why hold your closer till the other team ties it or gets close...bring him to let it never get to that. Francona has been doing it with Miller the whole playoffs.

Agreed if he only faced the guy in the 7th. But Joe is leaving him in.

Walkoff Wednesday!

When it goes to game 7, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe uses Lackey in relief. I'm getting sick of hearing about the Bullpen situation. Esp as their aces are all starting on short rest.

Yeah, exactly. Who cares? There is more than enough guys capable to go tomorrow. I'm riding with Joe. I swear it's in Cubs fans to be nervous about everything.

All you ding dongs that have any interest in seeing Lackey tomorrow are nuts. Burning Chapman is stupid.

I've head it and read it

Does anyone REALLY want to see John fking lackey in relief tomorrow?

Unless it's tied into the 13th and nobody is left in sure done want him in with 1 run lead orole trailing by 1 in the 6th or 7th

It's all about the bats tomorrow anyway. Get a handful on Kluber.

Hendrix needs to pitch like Maddox, 7 shutout innings.

I blame Arrieta more. He had everything set up for him and still couldn't go deep.

That makes no sense. Up by 5 with two outs and the bottom of the order. He walks one guy and gets yanked. Maddon is managing scared.

Hopefully a quick 8th and Chapman is not burned tonight. I also said yesterday letting the entire lineup see Chapman multiple times only helps the Indians

I want to next see Lackey in spring training, no fucking way is he trustworthy in WS #7.

I think I let Chapman pitch the 8th and if its still 5 runs, you go Strop or Edwards in the 9th.
Anyone but Rondon. And we have to get more than 5 innings out of Hendricks tomorrow.

You don't think that Lackey can be relied on for 2-3 outs? He would not be a starter if that were true.

This

Sitting on 7 for 2 hours

I really was hoping for a rizzo bunt last inning 1st 2nd nobody out....could be a hit worst case a sac.....then zobrist has a huse chance for a run....6 run lead keeps chapman seated another inning

Are you kidding me. 7 is not enough. 5 run lead not enough. This is all Maddon being scared.

Damn, I've never enjoyed watching defensive baseball so much as I do with the Cubs.
